A couple of weeks ago Marie took her cub scouts on a hike in the Anza Borrego dessert where the Mormon battalion went when as they made their way to San Diego on a two thousand mile military march during the Mexican American war. Anyway, a member of the Stake Presidency, Bill Bunker, organized the hike and about 4 or five packs made the journey. It takes about three hours to travel there and a couple of hours to make the hike and then there was the return trip so it was an all day outing. An ancestor of Marie's, Charles Young Webb, was a member of the battalion. It was 90 plus degrees with a breeze in sandy soil with just a slight uphill grade so it was a bit of a challenge for some of the boys and their 65 year old leader BUT THEY ALL MADE IT!
Can you find her?
I'm very proud of her and her love of the boys and her dedication to scouting!
